Yeah it truly does show my accent, just as if man can never refer to a plurality of the noun, but that&#039;s irrelevant. Insomma qbadtni defni, accent ta&#039; bniedem hamallu b xi ghoxrin misluta m ghajnejha. No, my dear, I wouldn&#039;t say I&#039;m back, today I saw that one video which urged me to speak up, actually joke about, but whatever. Ejja Dafni stennejt ahjar, hisbtek ha tiddefendi lill-Onnorevoli.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Was this a joke? I mean I have only seen the first 10 minutes and this is totally absurd. Whoa, I truly needed the PM to explain to me what a pedestrian area is, it was that one single subject which my lecturers never really explained, and here it is for us, Dr.Lawrence Gonzi explaining to me what is a pedestrian area, and by the way he agrees. Men, my life is complete.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - &#039;Men, my life is complete.&#039; Watch your spelling, because it gives your accent away. And then I sort of, you know, lose interest in what you have to say. Anyway, I see you&#039;re back. Or, so that you&#039;ll understand me clearly, peck.]&lt;/strong&gt;

Ehhh challenge kbira izzid is-soddod. Of course it&#039;s a great challenge especially after building a hospital which took 17 years to be built which isn&#039;t sufficient for a 400,000 population. That was the answer I was expecting. Thanks Lawrence. EHHHH Mariella saqsietni dwar ir-rapport tal-IMF, but what the fuck was the question. Gosh and then explains to me what is an IMF. Thanks Lawrence. Not that Labour has offered much up to this moment, but if what they&#039;ve proposed is a joke, this is hilarious. Gosh. Issa saqietu dwar bieb il belt, pero l-mistoqsija ma nafuhiex, ghalmenu jien miniex naraha, bhal li kieku mistoqsija wahda emm dwar bieb il-belt.]]></description>

I&#039;m really groaning loud now!

What argument? What did you win? Who is a Labour supporter? What does it have to do with the simple fact that the PM was well prepared for his answers because, well BECAUSE, he knew the questions beforehand? 

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - I don&#039;t mean in this case, David. I meant in general. And I also include AD supporters, incidentally. I agree with Henrik Piski.]&lt;/strong&gt;

The mind boggles. Many times you amuse me, but at times you irritate me because I&#039;m pretty sure you&#039;re convinced about what you&#039;re saying ... when you shouldn&#039;t be because you&#039;re wrong. On this occasion, you are wrong.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Oh, where you there? Fascinating. You must have been something they trod on on the way in, because I can&#039;t say anyone noticed. As for the tone of the rest of your comment, I&#039;ll have to say that at this stage in my life, I find men who seek to provoke me into debate, as a sort of mental challenge, irritating rather than entertaining. There ARE some women, of all ages, out there who don&#039;t bat their eyelashes. Hunt one out. This one finds men in search of intellectual debate and point-scoring utterly tedious.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

Should I groan louder? 

You are wrong but I&#039;ve just come from work and don&#039;t have the energy to explain to someone who thinks she&#039;s always right.

Xi darba nghidlek...

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - I don&#039;t think I&#039;m always right, David. It&#039;s just that I&#039;m right disproportionately often, largely because the competition is so poor. I would probably have a harder time elsewhere. It&#039;s really not hard to win an argument with a Labour supporter, because voting Labour is by definition irrational.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The PM is slick as usual. You are assuming however that he&#039;s taking questions live, answering them there and then without help. 

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Should I groan? Of course he&#039;s taking questions live, David. IT&#039;S A LIVE WEB BROADCAST. And of course he&#039;s answering them without help. Do you see any indication that somebody is passing him notes, or that he&#039;s referring to anyone else, or reading notes? You just don&#039;t believe, do you, that some people are actually competent, because they all seem to be in the Nationalist Party and you just find it too much to process. Can you imagine Simon Busuttil ever being a Labour politician, for instance? Ask yourself why.]&lt;/strong&gt;


It&#039;s also a big if, whether or not he knows what&#039;s going to come up next. I wasn&#039;t impressed. The backdrop is beautiful though.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Yes, isn&#039;t it. And of course he didn&#039;t know what was going to come up next. Even the Nationalist Party can&#039;t control minds. You should have tested it by putting in a question or five of your own. But of course you wouldn&#039;t do that, because you&#039;d rather believe your own myths than face the unpalatable truth.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>
